Just last week, the government of Texas has approved the six-week fetal heartbeat abortion ban. This means that as early as six weeks, any pregnant woman in Texas is not allowed to abort their offspring. Governor Greg Abbott has announced that Texas shall be a ‘sanctuary city for the unborn’.
Most women do not know about their pregnancy (nor confirm it) at this stage (six weeks). This means that all possible options for women (and motherhood) are taken away from them. This has angered multiple family planning groups and women’s rights organizations not only in Texas but all over the US. In an attempt towards a ‘pro-life’ movement, the Texan government has surely disappointed thousands of Americans.
Americans are gathering together to rally against the new bill. They have pointed out that the Texan government clearly have very skewed priorities. Here are some of the hate the Texas government is currently receiving from the internet:

No to abortions, but yes to guns
Texas: no abortions, no voting, no masks but as many guns as you want without a permit or training.

Set your priorities straight, TX!
The Texas Legislature has now passed essentially an abortion ban (even in rape & incest) AND permit-less carry.
Effectively, pretty much no one can get an abortion, pretty much everyone can open-carry a gun.
Meanwhile… no word on expanding healthcare to the 20% uninsured.

A gun may have more rights in Texas than a woman
So you can’t get an abortion in Texas, but you can get as many guns as you want and you can carry them anywhere.
A gun has more rights in Texas than a woman does. Let that sink in.

It’s really psychotic!
Six weeks pregnant means your period is two weeks late. That means here in Texas, by the time you might even *think* you could be pregnant, it’s already too late to have an abortion. Before you even have the chance to weigh options, options are taken away. That is psychotic.
